Five years is a long time. If the clock on adulthood starts when school ends and working full-time begins, then this blog has been around for 20% of my adult life.

How many hours have I spent working on WasWatching.com during that time? Personally, I would say that 4,000 hours would be a conservative estimate. And, I wonder how many people have ever spent 4,000 hours working on one single project over a five year period?

In any event, it’s been an interesting journey. If you’ve been along for the ride, I hope that you’ve enjoyed some or most of it. I do appreciate those who are the long-time and/or frequent readers of WasWatching.com. It’s been fun to be in your company, for sure.

I sincerely intend on doing this for another year – covering the 2010 season.

After that, who knows? My priorities have changed quite a bit since 2005. And, there are several other projects that I’ve always wanted to tackle. But, for now, I’m still interested in doing this for a bit more.

So, I guess that’s good news for fans of this blog and not so good news for those who don’t like it. But, it’s news, nonetheless, as the title of this entry suggests.

That’s pretty much what software developers do, except longer depending on the software cycle.

That being said, congrats on 5 years my man. Makes me wonder when I started following the blog..has to be at least 3 years by now, right?

Congrats, Steve. I probably give you the most $hit on a consistent basis but I’m also your most loyal reader. Take it one day at a time, don’t dwell too much on what the future holds. You provide a valuable service to the Yankee-related internet community and you should remind yourself of that from time to time.

Last I recall from him he correctly predicted a come back for Papi last year after his horrible start.

I don’t remember that but it seems likely.

Papi’s a weird case. He’s off to another horrible start but, based on last year, maybe he’s just become a lousy 1st half player and will figure it out in a couple of months. On the other hand, he HAS been declining so maybe we’re really seeing the end of his career.

I hope this is the end of the road for Big Sloppy and it culminates with him owing Jay-Z 5 million in connection with that lawsuit that he was slapped him with.

Thanks for leaving this place open to anybody who thinks he knows something.

Again; do this for as long as your want to, then move on. It’s avocation, which is not the same thing as a career. If your passion for goes, then do something else. You have only one life and one set of talents. We’ll be sad when you go, but we’ll get over it. We’re big boys. And girls. Well, mostly.

Seriously, as much as I tune out those belly-aching about me in other blogs and comments therein, on the equal flipside, I do appreciate seeing/hearing that you do enjoy this blog. Makes it all worthwhile!
